One of our favorite spots for its combination of industrial and authentic beauty, as well as amazing design is The Edison.  The Edison is a bar and event space that, during the age of Industry, was once L.A.’s first private power plant.  Located in downtown L.A., The Edison not only has wonderful cocktails, but the chill vibe combined with a truly unique space housing architectural and mechanical period artifacts is a throw-back to the era of the speakeasy-meets-legendary nightspot aesthetic for which Hollywood is so well-known. The period music and silent films projected onto the brick walls only adds to the authentic perfection.  You are able to rent the space for private events. The main event space  can hold up to 200 guests; however, there is an option to buyout the entire space.  Definitely check out the site for a virtual tour and amazing photos.  The Edison would be a great venue to hold a Rehearsal Dinner and even a wedding; and of course an amazing space for any event or a just night out in L.A.

Side note: On Thursday’s & Friday’s during happy hour, cocktails are the prices they were in 1910.  So, expect to pay .35 cents for the “1910 martinis”–yes, .35 cents!
